It has been noted by multiple studies, which have been turn been reported on by media, that the advertised content (we call this ‘label claim’) of CBD products does not match the content found during independent testing. This is due to the CBD degrading over time, into multiple degradants, including THC. This makes the product both unsafe and misleading. This has led to a lack of confidence from UKCAD in the CBD market and warnings within their literature about use of CBD products in the UK.
We are using our extensive knowledge in manufacturing within pharmaceutical industry, where quality is required to be at its highest to design and consistently manufacture CBD products which are true to their label over their shelf life. This includes ensuring the illegal THC is kept within UK regulation standards over the entirety of the products shelf life.

No, and this is critical. Cannabis Sativa contains multiple different compounds, including THC which is a controlled substance in the UK and would lead to a failed drugs test. Our products use a certified, GMP CBD isolate, eliminating all other constituents of the cannabis plant.
